If you have seen some old war movies, I believe you will be familiar with a movie "Sanmao Congjun" filmed in 1992, this movie can be said to be a perfect combination of comedy and war, when I watched it as a child, I thought this movie was a very funny movie, but now when I watch this movie, I find that this movie is definitely not so simple, there are a lot of metaphors and irony in the play, full of black humor, but everyone can't see it.
First of all, it was the people in that era, in 1938, socialism had not yet been born, the country at that time was the period of Kuomintang rule, especially some movies made the Nationalist Army War of Resistance call it a hot blood, I did not say Guan Hu, nor did I say eight hundred or anything, you don't think too much, and when Sanmao wanted to join the army, the officer in charge of recruitment asked Sanmao what he counted, which seemed to be nothing.
In fact, it is a satire that the people of that era were inferior to things, that would be invaded by the Japanese army, and the Kuomintang was corrupt and helpless, and could only retreat step by step, and the people were no longer anything in that meeting, and the movie told us in this way what the situation of the people in that era was, just as the officer said, "What are you", because the people who will be there are really not things, and people who are not as good as dogs are perfectly suitable for the situation of that era.
There are also forgotten heroes, Sanmao with cannons to repel the Japanese army to become a hero, was awarded a pennant, as a result, the final photo taken only on the chairman of the committee and three hairs, it seems that this paragraph is a joke, but in fact this paragraph is a satire on the history of those forgotten heroes, soldiers in the front line of blood sacrifice no one knows, and officers are widely praised, I have to say that this is the real irony.
When Sanmao entered the army, he was training in infantry exercises, and a group of soldiers were training, but the director directly transferred the camera to a group of geese, which is a metaphor for this group of soldiers and these geese, and what do geese do? It was food, and the soldiers were similar, and the director wanted to tell everyone in this way that soldiers were insignificant in that era.
Later, after Sanmao went to the division commander to do miscellaneous work, the front line was defeated, and the division commander was asked to be the back of the pot, and the division commander chose to shoot and commit suicide in order to evade the guilt, but the division commander who originally committed suicide to escape the guilt became a glorious martyr in the newspaper, so this story also tells us one thing, that is, the media at that time was untrustworthy, and the media could be manipulated.
"Sanmao from the Army" can be said to be a complete satire, but the director through his own ingenious methods, the satirical drama packaged a comedy that everyone can watch, or, is the most classic place of this drama, when I watched this drama when I was a child, I really felt that Sanmao was very tall, but now when I watch this drama again, I feel that the drama is full of an endless sadness, and Sanmao is the sadness of that era.
